In Bismarck, North Dakota, the North Star Lions Clubs Bike Kindness Initiative is bringing joy to children through bicycles. Led by local Scott Ressler, the program repairs donated bikes for families in need, providing essential outdoor exercise and independence. With 150 bikes ready for repair, Ressler distributes them to youth groups and school counselors. Inspired by his own childhood memories, Resslers efforts have made a significant impact, even receiving heartfelt gratitude from families. The program is open to all in need, not just those qualifying for free and reduced lunch. To contribute, drop off old bikes at Finish Line Automotive or contact Ressler directly.
